All know the prison.

The lights are bright and ready.

The gate of the imperial city was attacked by soldiers, and Eunuch Zhu immediately summoned his subordinates and gathered here to wait for follow-up news.

It is a good thing if the rebellion fails.

In case people succeed, Eunuch Zhu has to lead people to surrender.

The servant shouted to be loyal to His Majesty every day, not referring to Emperor Hongwu, but the man sitting on the dragon chair.

Around midnight.

The servant who went out to investigate came back to announce the good news. The second prince had failed in his rebellion and had already been arrested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"This is really a good thing!"

Eunuch Zhu raised his orchid finger and smiled: "We have also prepared a bank note, which will be sent to Eunuch Xu in a few days, so we can save it this time."

The godson next to him patted his horse and said: "It's His Royal Highness the King of Chu's turn in turn, so Eunuch Xu has to give money to godfather!"

"Confused!"

Eunuch Zhu laughed strangely and said, "If you kill Eunuch Xu, all his money will belong to our family."

while talking.

A voice came from outside the hall: "Xiao Yizi, pay homage to Eunuch Zhu."

"Hey, there are a lot of smart people in this world!"

Eunuch Zhu waved his hand, and ordered the servant on duty to open the door of the palace, let Zhou Yi in, and said in a strange manner on purpose.

"Isn't this Eunuch Yi, what are you doing here so late?"

"Eunuch Zhu, I beg you to show me a way out."

Zhou Yi knelt down without beating around the bush, and took out a stack of bank notes from his arms: "We and Eunuch Xu are incompatible, and we are willing to worship under Eunuch Zhu's command, and let you command us!"

Eunuch Zhu nodded slightly, and the godson next to him snatched the bank notes and counted them one by one.

"Godfather, three thousand five hundred taels."

"Not bad, quite sincere!"

Eunuch Zhu stuffed the banknotes into his cuffs, guessing that it was 90% of Zhou Yi's savings, and said with satisfaction: "You are quite clever, you have lost your talent under Eunuch Xu, and you will be our godson from now on."

"Thank you godfather!"

Zhou Yi kowtowed again and again, heaved a sigh of relief.

Bending down and standing behind Eunuch Zhu, carefully apologizing with the other servants, calling each other kindly like a brother, this godson is also divided into relatives who come first and come later.

After midnight.

The noise in the palace faded away.

The news came out from the servants in the Palace of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongwu angrily reprimanded the second prince, fainted from anger, and finally deprived of the throne and demoted to a commoner.

This seems to be the end of the turmoil, but in fact it is just the beginning!

The second prince is only one step away from the throne, so many supporters in the palace and the outer court will ruin their future because of his stupidity.

The outer court spends money to run relationships, and the palace spends money to buy lives.

"Sure enough, silver is the real thing!"

Thinking of this point in Zhou Yi, he hated the second prince again. It was because this guy was crazy, so there was no need to spend all the money.

If someone else makes a mistake, we pay the bill!

In the bottom of my heart, I made a fierce note that I will have to ask for it back ten times in the future.

After a few days.

Eunuch Xu defrauded the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Bank by making false accounts, stripped of his official position and confiscated his family property. Since he was a servant of His Majesty, he did not have to go through the trial and sentence of the third division.

A piece of white silk ended his life.

Accompanying Eunuch Xu to die was Xiao Yunzi, who had an accident that night and fell into a well and drowned.

The other godsons came one after another, and they either made mistakes on duty, or offered and accepted bribes. At the least, they were transferred to pour the night incense and wash the latrine, and at the worst, they were dragged out and killed with sticks.

"Fortunately, we were prepared!"

Zhou Yizheng secretly rejoiced, but when the transfer order came, he was changed from being on duty in the imperial garden to being on duty in the cold palace.

"Lenggong? What's going on?"

Zhou Yi, with a dazed face, came to the capital prison after receiving the transfer order, begging to see his new godfather, Eunuch Zhu.

"Xiao Yizi, our family has done their best."

Eunuch Zhu said indifferently: "You are Eunuch Xu's right-hand man. It took us a lot of favors to change from being killed to being guarded in the cold palace!"

"Thank you godfather."

Zhou Yi kowtowed again and again to thank Eunuch Zhu's eight generations of ancestors.

Eunuch Xu had nothing to do with rebellion, and his godson was the aftermath of the aftermath. As long as the eunuch with status said a word, other servants could be saved from revenge.

There are many people in the palace who take money and don't do things. Zhu Gongping is quite particular in his daily life, and he never thought of breaking his promise this time.

Zhou Yi had no choice but to accept the transfer order.

Aggrieved, he returned to his residence.

Xiao Guizi was surprised to see Zhou Yi tidy up, "Eunuch Yi, where are you going to move?"

"Lenggong!"

Zhou Yi replied angrily, the Leng Palace in the palace belongs to the low class of the low class, most of the time there is not even a living person, occasionally a nobleman lives in, and she is still a concubine who has fallen out of favor.

Xiaoguizi's eyes flashed with pride, and he gave Eunuch Zhu money on the pretext of being dissatisfied with Eunuch Wen, without revealing anything on the surface, and comforted him.

"Eunuch Yi is very capable, and he will definitely be able to come out of the cold palace in the future."

"maybe."

Zhou Yi glanced at Xiao Guizi, he didn't know who was behind the trick, so he wrote down all the familiar servants.

If they get power in the future, regardless of whether they have anything to do with Xiao Guizi, they will all be thrown into the well and drowned!

...

Leng Gong.

The name of the palace is not Leng, but a palace without a plaque on the west side of the palace, which is specially used to house concubines and princes who have fallen out of favor.

Zhou Yi, carrying a burden on his back, came to the gate of Lenggong.

There was an old eunuch standing at the door, his body was trembling, and he might fall to the ground in the next moment.

The old eunuch asked, "Are you the new guard?"

"Meet my father-in-law, just call us Xiao Yizi."

Zhou Yi adjusted his mentality, comforted himself that he would live a long life, and finally waited until the day when he was in charge, bowed and said, "Excuse me, father-in-law, where should we go to be on duty?"

"My little deer, you can call me Laolu, you can't be a father-in-law."

The old deer pointed to the inside of the Leng Palace and said: "According to the rules, the guards of the Leng Palace have to stand at the door to prevent people inside from sneaking out. Now there is no one in the palace, you can find a place where you want."

The six houses in the cold palace, that is, six people can be imprisoned at the same time, are all empty now.

Zhou Yi nodded in agreement, asked about the residence of the servant in the cold palace, went in and took a look, and found that the quilt was covered with spider webs and circles of muddy yellow patterns.

If he was a refugee back then, he wouldn't care about it.

After staying in the palace for a few years, she subtly became fond of cleaning, covering her mouth and nose to wash the bedding.

Cleaning the quilts was originally the staff of the Shangyi Supervisor, but the status of the Lenggong eunuch was low, and no one wanted to pay attention to it, so Zhou Yi would not come to make people humiliate.

The servants in the palace hold the high and step down, like instinct!

After drying the bedding, it was already evening.

Zhou Yi originally wanted to go to the kitchen to eat, but a servant brought a food box, only then did he know that the servant in the cold palace needs to keep an eye on the imprisoned person at all times, without any slack.

"Doesn't this mean that we are also imprisoned? We must find a way to leave the cold palace."

Zhou Yi thought to himself that when the epiphyllum book was completed, he would look for an opportunity to show it to His Majesty.

The power gained in exchange for fists is much safer than recognizing godfather!

the next day.

Zhou Yi found a house at random, and stood outside the door all day. As a result, apart from the old deer sweeping and taking a nap, he only had a few words with the servant who delivered the food.

"Old Lu, how can you resist being so boring?"

"Young people are too impetuous, what's wrong with this cold palace?"

The old deer spread the quilt on the steps, lying on it to bask in the sun as if it were limp.

"Other lands are intriguing every day, but this cold palace is the only place where no one fights, no one fights, eats, drinks and sleeps. It can be said to be the only pure land in the palace!"

"Living in peace and stability for a lifetime is already better than ninety-nine percent of people in the world!"
